Notes:
Precooking meat saves a lot of time. When meal planning, if you have a standard list of menues or a template ( protein based) it only takes a few minutes. Add a few more minutes to prewash veggies and cook rice 🍚 and you save a lot of time. Cook once, eat twice or more. With the salmon menu, all I have to do is put the salmon in the oven to cook, reheat the rice in the microwave, and toss the broccolli with olive oil and salt and pepper and put in the oven with the salmon. Very little hands on time.
Washing all the veggies takes a lot less time than doing it piece meal.
Start cooking the thing that takes the most time, so that you can work while it’s is cooking. The object is to get in and out of the kitchen fast.
Its a nice day here, I want to go walk the beach.
